Extends the deadline for rural counties to designate industrial land banks for economic development.

The bill extends the deadline for rural counties in Washington to designate industrial land banks for economic development purposes. These land banks are areas designated for major industrial use, suitable for manufacturing, industrial, or commercial businesses. The extension allows counties with a population over 250,000 and part of a metropolitan area to designate these banks until December 31, 2027. Counties must provide public notice and make a written determination of the criteria and rationale for siting these banks.
